Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in New Jersey is the process of addressing the complex issues involved with addiction. Challenges are identified and addressed through individual and group counseling. Participants learn how to manage these issues without the use of substances.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

I have been here on Different occasions 1 time when my 1 year old split her forehead on a wooden sofa my family rushed her to the nearest hospital which was this hospital they had us during in the waiting room in ER for 2 hrs and when I arrived I asked triage nurses how much longer they said IDK at that point enough was enough I had to drive all the way to St.Peters Hospital in New Brunswick NJ where she was treated in a matter of seconds Then another time I went to this hospital because I felt like I was going to pass out I barely couldn't walk I waited in ER for about 1 to 2 hrs finally was put in a bed for another 45 min then they took multiple testing and they said that the result came back with all negative results and a POSSIBILITY for UTI even after explaining to them that I was just released from another hospital several weeks ago for the same symptoms and since I knew it wasn't no UTI I went to RWJ ER for 2nd opinion where they had to re do all testing the results came back as having septic even if you feel like your dying I would rather take the chance of going to RWJ or St.Peters before I EVER go back to this hospital ever again this hospital is more for the Mentally I'll and those who have addiction that's what this hospital is specialized in its been this way for over 40 years sadly nothing has changed

I went to deliver my baby in this hospital and the anesthesiologist almost kill me. I was induced and I asked for epidural and they were all looking at me like I am crazy while I was in so much pain and agony. You will not believe that the anesthesiologist came after close to an hour of so much pain and started talking as if I do not even matter at all. I am still going through numbness in my fingers after the epidural was wrongfully placed twice in my back. Please I will encourage everyone to be careful because they do not care about your life at all. Be aware of your safety. I tried mentioning it to the hospital care department and they said they can t do anything because she they didn t see anything that she did wrong. Even though I have videos and eye witness, they decided to ignore my complaint. Be safe everyone. Remember our lives matter. People did warn me about this hospital but I thought they have changed but apparently they did not change!!!

Terrible place go anywhere else. Psychiatric ward has terrible nurses and staff, useless if you ask me. No one is there to help. No one makes an effort all while you wait for a family member to receive care. UNBELIEVABLE. Was told I would be placed on a block list for even attempting to make a complaint !! Manager did nothing, administrator did nothing...SOME AUTHORITY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS HOSPITAL

Very disappointed in the overall care at this facility s ER. The nurses in the ER were extremely unprofessional! They were laughing, shouting out other patients vital information for discharge, and counting down the time for their shift to be over. My grandmother threw up while in the ER and the nurses didn t even bother to clean her. At the time the kind man came to transfer my grandmother as she was being admitted, NO medical staff accompanied my grandmother, which I understand is protocol. I had to interrupt the nurses as they were too busy laughing and talking to ensure that my grandmother had everything she needed prior to the transfer. Medications were provided to the nurses who stated, they would provide it to their pharmaceutical team to compile a list of medications- THAT ISN T EVEN SOMETHING THEY DO! My grandmother was in terrible pain and the residency doctor who she met with, DID NOT even read her chart prior to meeting with her. What s worse is that this hospital offers a patient care experience representative who won t even speak with you if you re not the primary caretaker- what is the point of this role?!???? I believe the blessing in all of this was to have my grandmother admitted as we encountered kind and compassionate nurses (Beth, Sam, and Kidenia ). These professionals should truly be recognized and should find somewhere better that reflects the quality of care they provide. I would stay clear of this facility, either the workers have lost their empathy and compassion in this field or they never cared for patients to begin with.

Horrible they mis Diagnosed me. Not accurate results after going to few doctors. Not fair not valid . Still had to go through few specialist and pay for it . Just to reassure my health was okay , the nurse was so off after following up with the the specialist. Don t belive what they tell you . And she was rude nurse or doctor whatever she was . The nurse tried to admit me for 2-3 days in which I didn t have the problems after going to multiple specialist she was referring to in her mind . She scared me for months and days with her assumption. Terrible environment and they don t care as long as they get their money . Do not go to Perth amboy hospital it s a scam. They won t hesitate to send the bill as long as it is beneficial for them .

I don t understand how there could be people so inhuman. I went with my wife just to a routine check for pregnancy and she was asking them if there was something wrong or if everything was ok. They said: we don t give results, so, my wife went thru the hospital website by curiosity and saw some comments stating there was no cardiac signs and there was a possibility of abortion.What I don t understand is: if u see that it might be an abortion. Why didn t they call a doctor to ensure these comments and make sure our baby was ok.People is so careless nowadays.

I was here for about 2-3 weeks for mental health. They used to always send me to Northbrook, but I got lucky this time and got sent upstairs. Compared to a lot of state-run hospitals this one is a lot newer, so the staff is more upbeat, energetic, and excited to try and help you. While I was there I tried to tell the staff that neurofeedback in a place like this would do wonders for patients struggling with addiction. I spent over $10K on neurofeedback (money I got from a lawsuit related to my illness) and it improved my core cognition, something that I feel is not being addressed in the multi-axial complexities of the nervous system. Trauma is stored in memory centers of our brains, and if you layer medication on top of that without first re-training it, then it will likely lead to non-compliance and subsequent re-hospitalizations. I have been dealing with Schizoaffective disorder bipolar type with PTSD since 2011 and I've tried many different remedies including TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), Ketamine, neurofeedback, talk therapy, etc and by far the one that has helped me stabilize most is neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is used to treat ADHD, mood, anxiety and addiction. There is nothing inherently wrong with this place when it comes to their approach to treating mental health, but I feel like taking a more modern, digital-aged approach to treatment will help improve the outcomes of patients. I have been compliant with Invega and have even gotten to the point where I qualified for the 6-month injection since training with neurofeedback. As opposed to the 15+ previous hospitalizations that have all led to non-compliance because of negative core memories that were not retrained by something like neurofeedback. It also raised my IQ by over 10 points. I'm leaving this review in hopes that relatively new technologies will be adopted into the mainstream treatment of mental health because it has truly helped me in alleviating harmful memories related to abuse and trauma. I give this behavioral health hospital 5 stars because the staff here is helpful, informative, knowledgeable and skilled. The food is also really nutritious and they have healthy options, with nutritionists coming almost every day to update what you want to eat. I was able to maintain my weight even with all the sedentariness from being confined to a unit and the side effects related to anti-psychotics. The only thing I would change is adopting a mental health technology such as neurofeedback. Highly recommend they look into it.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your visit. We are happy to hear you had such a positive experience with all of our team members at Raritan Bay Medical Center. We always welcome feedback and will be sure to share this information with the CBH team members.

We are asking and kindly requesting To have a conversation with our daughter, and we're told, we cannot, she's of age, and she chooses not to speak to anyone which does not Sit well.A few of the nurses have been very rude. We could never give this particular facility with the experience high ratings, and that is sad to say.
